Fantastic Kilimanjaro climb with this great company
This company is very good and I would book with them again without hesitating! We did the 7-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Machame route. The team was great and the atmosphere excellent. The cook also did an excellent job! The guide, Sam, was super experienced, calm and professional, so we felt we were in good hands. The three of us made it to the top, thanks to these guys! If I have to name one point of improvement, it would maybe be the communication after the booking which was somewhat limited. But the overall experience was just great!

Simply fantastic! Thank you Suricata, thank you Jumbe Frank!
We ended 5 days of superlative safari (Tarangire-Serengeti-Ngorongoro) today. It was an amazing experience. We were particularly impressed with the Serengeti National Park. Our guide Jumbe Frank took us in on Monday and made us live a dream. He accompanied, followed, initiated, instructed and pampered us on every step of the way. We experienced precious moments in tune with nature and the environment around us. We saw 4 of the big five up close and discovered the variety and beauty of Tanzania. Jumbe Frank also provided us with a lot of interesting information about the culture and traditions of this beautiful country. All the facilities proposed to us and organized by Suricata Safari welcomed us with goodwill, great hospitality and kindness. The lunch picnics in nature organized by Jumbe Frank will forever remain in our hearts and memories. Tasty food, breathtaking views and exchange of recipes. A fantastic safari, a one-time success with no problems or hiccups and lots of excitement. An unforgettable and unique experience for the whole family. We can only recommend Suricata Safari and our precious Jumbe Frank. Thank you from the bottom of our heart!

In Safari game drive you can win or loose, the Nature drives the game but Pilgrimage Safari is a win
Everything was amazing! From the beginning Joel answered to all our questions and reassured us about the organisation and the professionalism of the team.
We’ve booked a 6 days safari and I think it was the best solution.
At the arrival they coordinated our trip with another group, but everything was incredibly organised.
Every day we were seeing different places, with a lot of variation in the vegetation and in the wild life so we never got bored.
The accommodations were incredible, everything was so well organised. In the Serengeti, we had the unforgettable opportunity to sleep in a tented camp in the middle of the park, surrounded by the sounds of wildlife.
Everyone, in every place, was incredibly nice, always looking forward for our wellness, making us feel like home.
A special mention goes to our guide, Elisha. He was so professional, very good driver and really knowledgeable about wildlife, Masai culture and history. He was always trying to give us the best by looking for every animal and taking us to the best spots. It’s thanks to him if we were able to find all the Big 5.
In the end, everything was really perfect and I would really recommend this experience and this company to everyone.

Driver: unpuncture and racist behavior
My driver Sal** was late for the departure in the morning. I had to wait 25 minutes in the morning and two other guests even waited for an hour.
After the tour, on our way back to the drop off (individual lunch), the driver kept on insisted that I get off the car and walk even before arriving the final destination because there is traffic jam and he was unhappy with it. It was a 10 minutes walk. I was okay with walking but there were 3 guests out of 4, including me, who were going to the same destination.
So I told him nicely, even if I get off here, he has to go through all this traffic jam anyways, since two other people are also going to the same place and they are not willing to walk.
However he kept insisting only at me to get off the car because apparently I was the only Asian guest. He kept making gestures showing complaints, kept turning off/on the car engine, and asked “have you made up your mind to get off here?”.
He was clearly discriminative because he didn’t say anything at two other Kenyan guests who were heading to the same destination. I was very upset that the other Kenyan guests even apologized instead for his behavior on behalf of all the Kenyan people.
This has been my third safari tour in Kenya/ fifth in East Aftica and he has been the worst driver ever.
John, who was in charge of the booking was trying to be helpful and was apologetic when I called him about this issue. However, I would like to hear clear follow up measures on how you would deal with this issue and the driver.

Helpful and reliable
Our safari was excellent. Chazi was a brilliant guide. He was really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The accommodation was really high quality, with great food, amenities like swimming pools and some nice entertainment. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and some amazing scenery, landscapes and nature in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tangeire. Would highly recommend.

Knowledgeable, comfortable, and timely
Excellent short tour arranged at short notice to go on a Mountain Gorilla trek leaving from Kigali and staying near Volcano National Park in
very comfortable accommodation.
Clear instructions on what was needed and timings and an informative knowledgeable guide leading the tour. Which overall made for a fantastic experience.

Fun, informative tour, great food and company and comfortable accommodation with wonderful staff!
We had an excellent time on the safari with Suricata, the food and accommodation was great and all of the staff were too. Our guide Chazi was excellent, very knowledgeable about all the parks and animals and very helpful generally. We had a great time with our group and the whole team at Suricata have been very communicative. I also have a gluten allergy so was slightly nervous about travelling and the food options but I was really pleased and well taken care of on this front too. I would really recommend to anyone and the price was also quite reasonable compared to many of the other operators we looked at. Asante sana Suricata!

Attentive
I started planning with Nevill, who helped us plan our itinerary and was so responsive to all of the questions our group had before the trip itself.
The safari itself was more than I expected. I have new appreciation for Kenya. Our tour guide, Musa, went over and above our expectations. He was super helpful, very attentive to all of us, funny, informative, and so entertaining. The game drives we experienced were amazing. Musa helped us learn more about the animal kingdom, giving us facts and knowledge about each animal we came across during our game drives. I gained so much appreciation to everyone who we came across our journey, such as the hotel workers we interacted with. Everyone spoke English very well and were so kind.
The places we stayed in were all great! Food was great!
I would recommend Amazing Memories to all my friends and family who also would love to experience the beauty of Kenya.

A wonderful safari
We are very grateful for 一步's arrangements before we arrived and your reception during these days. The schedule was very reasonable and we were quite satisfied with the hotel. The tour guide Dickson worked very hard and we were able to see many animals and wonderful moments. Briefly，we had a wonderful vacation. We hope your business will thrive. I will also share some travel experiences on Chinese social media platforms to introduce your company. Once again, thank you so much.
